The Shimano RC7 is designed for performance. The ultra-rigid, lightweight carbon fiber composite sole ensures maximum power transfer and the Shimano Dynalast promotes smoother, more efficient pedaling. Boa IP1 dials and a powerzone wire guide mean your foot will be secure and supported and the perforated synthetic leather upper allows for ventilation.

Shimano Dynalast

Optimized Shoe Last The toe-spring section of a cycling shoe plays a key role in supporting efficient pedaling. Too high, and it causes increased tension in the plantar, calf, and hamstring muscles. Too low, and you get a bowlegged, inefficient pedaling form. Extensive research by Shimano's R&D experts has produced a superior shoe last design with an optimized toe-spring section that promotes a smoother, more energy-efficient upstroke. Built based on feedback from pro riders, Shimano Dynalast helps reduce energy loss on long rides, letting you keep more in the tank for that final sprint to the line.

CUT BRAKING LOSS WITH MORE EFFICIENT PEDALING Braking loss is the unwanted loss of power that occurs between the crank angles of 200｡ and 360｡ in the backspin direction of a pedal stroke. Shoes incorporating Shimano Dynalast help to reduce braking loss by promoting smoother, more efficient pedaling. If you want to reduce fatigue, get the most out of your legs, and go the extra mile, ride Shimano Dynalast.

ANATOMICALLY DESIGNED

All Shimano footwear closures are anatomically designed to reduce pressure and tension on the highest points of the foot. By wrapping the foot securely and in a uniform method, comfort is improved and added power transmission created.

About Road Shoes

Road racing cycling shoes are designed without compromise to provide optimum power transfer between your foot and the pedal, a good quality road cycling shoe is a wise investment for performance and weight saving and is often overlooked. High-tech materials and precision manufacture keep weight down and stiffness up, this means your rotational mass is lower and power transfer is higher, resulting in more forward momentum for your effort.

Magazine reviews for Shimano RC7 Race Shoes

Review from
road.cc

Here's something to be glad about – most stuff is better than it was before. No, not all stuff (link is external), but in general the performance of cycling kit today has massively progressed from what it was in the past. Shimano's road shoes are a good case in point. In the last few years it's made progress in leaps and bounds to the point where these new RC7 shoes are maybe my favorite shoe I've yet tested. They're comfortable, stiff and incredibly quick to put on and take off. I reckon they look pretty good too.

Excellent shoeThis is my 3rd pair of Shimano shoe and I seem to be buying the more expensive ones each time but they are great fit, feel very light and look good, the Boa system works great to keep them on snug, with Shimano get the size bigger for sure

Horrible for Sprinting, Numb ToesI have mixed feelings on these shoes. On one hand, they are comfortable when not done up tight. On the other hand, when they are tight, they still feel very loose after sprints. The carbon sole somehow managed to be dented despite the rubber feet which also confused me. I do quite like the looks, the boa dials, the price, and the especially the light weight.

This product is good value for money.I have tried a pair of these cycling shoes on and found them very comfortable indeed. I was looking for a new shoe as my old ones was ring for me and very cheap. I tried various types of shoe ranging from a standard lace trainer to Velcro but the only shoe I have found that suite me best are the Shimano RC7. I love the idea of the tightening mechanism as it makes the shoe a better fitting shoe and you can tighten loosen as much as you need to.
This is the most I have ever paid for a shoe but it is a mid ranged priced shoe and I would recommend them to anyone.

Perfect Fit, extremely comfortableGot my first road shoes and cleats yesterday after a year and 5000km on mob pedals.
Had been looking at a more expensive pair of DMT but couldn't be happier with these. Fit and comfort just perfect. Did 80km today and no complaints no breaking in, just a great shoe

Same sizing as R171

I currently have the Shimano R171 in size 46 and love them because they are a touch wider than most other brands. Is it safe to assume this newer generation Shimano shoes has very similar sizing/fit to the R171?

Asked by: Saldegracia

Unless specifically stated as a wider fitting shoe, these shimano shoes will fit like other shimano road cycle shoes.

Sizing with the RP3

I'm wearing size 48 for the RP3 and it fits quite well. What size would u recommend me to go for RC7? Thanks

Asked by: JJ2017

You may need to consider the 49's in these as they have a narrower width in comparison with the RP3's.

Does this shoe have an outer piece on the heel that can be replaced if/when it gets worn?
